Greensboro Architecture. Blandwood.

Blandwood, the home of former North Carolina Governor John Motley Morehead is located a couple of blocks from downtown Greensboro. It's an interesting mesh of architectural styles. The back of the house is the original 1795 farmhouse, while the front is an impressive Italianate style villa.

Bio

Although my photography business is based out of Greensboro, I am a Randolph County native and live on my family's 150 acre beef cattle farm on Routh Road in Grays Chapel. A lot of my photography is done near my home, featuring family, friends, neighbors and local scenes. I grew up as the son of a dairy farmer/teacher and worked on the dairy until I left for UNC and a degree in Cultural Anthropology, and then Photography at Randolph Community College. My wife and I have two sons (and 2 daughter-in-laws) and we still work the farm, raising cattle and chickens, along with an extensive vegetable garden.
